Set Me as a Seal<br />

paraphrase of the celebrated text from the “Wisdom<br />

of Solomon.” Reveling in sumptuous harmonies,<br />

this artful anthem gives directors many intimate<br />

moments to explore. The text, well-known for<br />

its usage in weddings, is also a moving selection<br />

during Holy Week displaying Christ’s sacrificial<br />

love <strong>and</strong> foreshadowing the imagery of Christ the<br />

Bridegroom dying for his beloved church. Rich<br />

writing <strong>and</strong> enriching poetry!<br />

of your ensemble with careful attention to range<br />

<strong>and</strong> voice leading. The optional rhythm instruments<br />

Lonesome Valley<br />

86<br />

Joseph Graham/Brad Nix<br />

One of the most original octavos you will ever experience,<br />

this gem is a rugged, newly composed spiritual.<br />

Primal in its impact, the anthem conveys the<br />

journey to the cross with a heavy heart. Optional<br />

foot stomps <strong>and</strong> dropped chains suggest the burden<br />

that weighed Jesus down on the road to Calvary.<br />

Kyrie Eleison<br />

87<br />

(Have Mercy)<br />

Keith Getty/Stuart Townend/arr. David Angerman<br />

One of oldest statements of faith in Christendom<br />

is set with a “world music” feel. With building<br />

intensity, this repetitive prayer becomes a powerful<br />

call for forgiveness <strong>and</strong> commitment. The<br />

verses acknowledge our need for mercy <strong>and</strong> the<br />

music becomes more emotional with the overwhelming<br />

assurance that we are children of grace.<br />

The harmonies <strong>and</strong> percussion add a distinctive<br />

touch that is truly special.<br />

piece <strong>and</strong> teaching opportunity.<br />

For Everything a Time<br />

89<br />

Joseph M. Martin<br />

One of the most treasured passages from the Bible<br />

is found in the book of Ecclesiastes. This profound<br />

chapter is set to a beloved folk tune that is then<br />

developed to support the various poetic images<br />

delivered in the text. Lush expressive harmonies<br />

punctuate the tonal l<strong>and</strong>scape with deep beauty<br />

while the artful piano writing weaves a spell of<br />

reflective calm throughout the piece.<br />
